Nails as tough as I am

The thing to know about me is I’m always working on a project.

We have a list of projects and there’s a sub list of the tasks that are within my abilities. Don’t get me wrong - the tasks are basically child level tasks but I’m not the type of person who expects my husband to tackle entire project by himself.

I’m far from a girly girl. I barely know how to apply my makeup but having my nails done makes me feel like I can take on the world.

This set I’m wearing I applied on the floor in my hotel room in Arizona, I came back to Florida (while home I directed a whole photoshoot which includes a lot of setup & breakdown and worked multiple promo events) then road-tripped to Kentucky then Ohio and then made my way back to Florida (all with a 45 lb dog that requires being held in the car so I have to pick her up often.)

✨ All of that to say this is day 25 in this set

With 0 pop offs💅🏻

$20 for a manicure that can handle my lifestyle 😮‍💨
